Topic: RE: Anyone contemplating plastics?
I have said from the beginning I don't want to have any plastics done.  I figure I am at almost 50 and not looking to hook a man etc.. so as long as my body looks good in clothes I am good to go! LOL The only one that suffers is my Sig OT- he will just have to deal with it. I have no desire to go into more surgery. This frame of mind could change down the line but I stand firm right now. I guess if it was medically important then I would. Just seen Dr. G and he was pleased at how my tummy seems to be snapping back into shape. Yes, it is a shape LOL just not sure which shape it is.

My younger sister had her upper arms done, her thighs and a tummy tuck. She's pretty happy with the outcome. She had to pay out of pocket for it. She had never worn anything sleeveless all her life until after she had this done.

Its good to see BCBS is receptive to this, I always heard that the insurance companies would only consider it if there was some kind of chronic rash.

Try a different size cup. I have found when they poke me and sometimes would leave bruises, it was the wrong cup size (letter). The wire should not go back that far on your side. It should land just to the outside(frontside) of your arm as you rest your arms at your side. I hope that is understandable, kinda hard to describe LOL

Hi, Lori,
The location we met in at Innovis is our permanent location, so it would be the same as last month. We've tried other locations, such as the Library, restaurants, etc., and this one works out the best since its easy to find and its available to us at the same time each month.

I am on the fence on this one, and lord knows I have a few problem areas after losing 100 lbs, but I had a consultation for a tummy tuck or pannilectomy.

I was somewhat encouraged to hear that BCBS of ND has been covering this procedure if you have lost 100 lbs or mopre.  Time will tell - the surgeon is writing a letter to my insurance, then I will see if I have something to consider.

Boy, talk about some extra tummy skin.......

Oh well, it still beats the alternative.  I'll keep y'all posted.

I should be there as well!  I didn't make it to the January Meritcare meeting, though I meant to.  Was a little under the weather that night. 

This is a different room than in January, correct?

Thanks

On the subject of bras....I have always worn underwires to give me a little more support. But it never fails, the side wires end up poking me in the armpits after a short time. Can't somebody make a better underwire?

I finally broke down and bought new undies, I wore the old ones until they became a "onesie" I could pull them up to my bra and practically hook em up. I hate buying underware, I watched Margaret Cho, one day on "the Dr's" and she doesnt wear any, to let "everything get fresh air" and Im thinking, gee maybe there is something to that, the Drs said " its great". But here in ND the thought of -20 degrees and fresh air going up my leg is to day the least.... a little shivvery!  Im leaving on undies and including my long underware, at least until July.
  And to find a good bra that fits.. well, thats another story!
